As they say - the only good coyote is a dead coyote.
Too effin' bad, snowflakes.

We have had a few come around my yard and after one committed suicide in my backyard a neighbor called the LEO's. He agreed with me it was suicide.


A week later the remains of her cat was found in her yard. She no longer calls the LEO's.

I carry my Coyote Shaker strong side IWB and it will definitely make noise until the coyote is no longer a threat. I figure it would come down to my word against his.

My wife and I nursed a orphan pup to health that showed up in our backyard. He stayed with us for a year and a half before he left and joined a pack. I’ve got video of me playing with him and my wife brushing him out. He was fun but I wouldn’t do it again. Coyotes are kleptomaniacs. We had all kinds of shit show up in the backyard. Empty jager bottles, Seagrams wine cooler bottles, tennis shoes, garden tools

We have one or two in the front field eating their fill of choke cherries. See their scat, full of pits, but haven't seen them yet.

All the lower cherries are harvested...amazing how they can eat most anything.

I live in the country and have lots of young calves around. Plus the SOB's killed our cat. It's war now

 
AZ Fish and Game has coyotes listed as open season all year, with no bag limit.
 

I have quite a few of these around my house. I walk my dog daily up the trail behind my house, and always carry my 320. If one even threatens me or my dog, it's going to die!

Just caught one under the pear tree the other day. All I had readily available was the 17 HMR.

He limped off, but won’t be back.

They are all around me on my rural land. But I never see them in my walking. There is a ultra large pasture adjoining my land, the cattleman says coyotes are numerous, but I never see them, evidently Sunset's coyotes are all nocturnal.

My fear of wild animals has to do with rabies, more than anything else. Hence my 30'boundry rule.

I like all wildlife. Coyotes included. They all have a part of a system. But I own a farm. When they are in my huge back woods I have never had an issue, they are generally skittish and don't bother me while out and about even at night with my dogs or horses. But once they learn that there is food near my buildings then its all over and they have to be dispatched. Rarely I have one that's not right and those I do right away.

Last year I found the skeletal remains of a young buck in the field behind my house. And last winter I think I found the reason for (a) the skeletal remains of said buck and (b) the decline in the feral cat population.

We were awoken at about one in the morning. Wylie E. Coyote and his family were having a reunion outside our fence. They were pretty brave, lights and noise did not deter them. That morning about 8 we let our dog out into the fenced yard. One of the 'yotes walked by the yard, not in the least deterred by the barking, running and commotion that our dog was creating. That pack had no fear of humans or dogs.

They are every where. Saw a flat one on 71 South shoulder today in northern Kentucky. There is something so cool about the old .220 Swift round. It can be loaded up to 5,000 plus fps.

Have to confess to liking one coyote. I had California quail coming to my feeder. However, 15 would become 14, the 13.... Neighbor’s cat was the problem. Typically, he thought the cat killing quail was cute.
My daughter called me at work and said “You don’t have to worry about ******,s cat.” “I just saw a coyote carrying it off.”

Cats eat birds, coyotes eat cats. Birds eat leftover cat. Circle of life.

When we moved to our Scripps Ranch neighborhood in San Diego, my wife noted a lots of birds singing. Then we noticed no cats prowling around. Then we saw and heard the coyotes. The songbird's friend!

"Smoke a pack a day" stickers are often seen on trucks in these neck of the woods.

When I was little, Dad the Veterinarian cared for a 1/2 Coyote 1/2 Collie pet. Lady was her name and she was indeed a gentle lady.

I have had a Coyote hanging around my town house. I think my idiot neighbors thought it was a stray dog and were feeding it.
Water pistol? Geezuz!

When they lose their fear of man and dog it is indeed time to load up and go to war.
My neighbor across from me is 400 acres of field. The owner is a former township trustee who has encouraged me and others to check with him first, then take as many of them as we please.
